Author here :) It's inspired by Haskell, yes, but not a dialect. Syntax is very much open for change still and that's really not the most important bit. Semantics are not like Haskell, more Go + polymorphism.

I think those using Haskell can learn to use a single colon plus they will appreciate it better as the double colon steals too much visual attention.

What I don't like about Haskell is repeating the function name.

yeah :: Num yeah = 3

repeating yeah two times is ugly.

Ugliness is not the biggest issue - not being DRY is!
